Genome sequence surveys of <it>Brachiola algerae</it> and <it>Edhazardia aedis</it> reveal microsporidia with low gene densities

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Microsporidia are well known models of extreme nuclear genome reduction and compaction. The smallest microsporidian genomes have received the most attention, but genomes of different species range in size from 2.3 Mb to 19.5 Mb and t...
